Turn Off Location Facebook | Update 2019

Facebook is at it again, releasing yet an additional feature that I never ever had the chance to politely opt out of: place sharing.

When Facebook chose to take out initiatives from its short-term check-in solution, Places, it rapidly carried out a much more passive location-sharing function that doesn't also have a name. It's simply there. As well as it's weird.

Now, every time you compose a post on a mobile device or desktop, you'll see a light-gray area summary in the reduced left of the standing box.

Facebook sneakily orders your area through GENERAL PRACTITIONER or Wi-Fi router, and also attaches it to your article, so your buddies can take pleasure in a more thorough stalking experience.

Do you keep in mind choosing in to that? Me neither.

In fact, if you dig via your personal privacy and account setups, the choice to turn off location-sharing isn't offered. Nevertheless, it's pretty easy to transform it off. Below's exactly how:

- Considering that the area is displayed in light gray, it's really easy to miss. Constantly inspect the reduced left of the status box to see if an area is affixed.

- If you're on the Internet, just float the arrow over the place as well as click the "X." Your location will no longer be attached, even to future statuses. If you later change your mind, simply click the place marker to manually enter your place, but beware: it will certainly be affixed again for all future updates (unless you turn it off once again).

-In the Facebook mobile app, tap the location to remove it. On the iPhone, you can turn off location services for Facebook totally by going to Settings > Place Services, as well as transforming it off for Facebook.
